That's for a single table.

I've not come across many databases where 20-50 tables have 10 million rows each. And with a table of that size, then I might be coerced into thinking about the storage requirements a little more. Maybe.

Now add another 20 to 50 tables depending on the database. If you want to throw away money go ahead, but I don't know too many clients that want to waste 10 gigs of mostly padded space.

I don't know of many clients who care as long as it is performant and cost effective. Wasting 10 Gigs is not a great deal when you have a drive measured in the hundreds of Gigs. until you have to dump it, zip it, ssh it over to another box and then import it back in
